POOR weather has for a third time forced the postponement of Weymouth’s Dorset Senior Cup tie with Wimborne Town.

The Terras had received home advantage by virtue of two postponements at Wimborne's New Cuthbury.

However, incessant heavy rain overnight into this morning, with further downpours expected until mid-afternoon, has waterlogged the Bob Lucas Stadium pitch.

Weymouth will hope it is fourth time lucky when a new date is announced in due course.

When the tie does go ahead, the Terras are widely expected to field a weakened side, flush with under-23 players and a handful of first-teamers.

Wimborne, meanwhile, are managed by ex-Weymouth striker Tim Sills and currently sit top of the Southern League Division One South in Step 4.

Weymouth now turn their attentions to a crucial Vanarama National League South home game against Dover Athletic on Saturday (3pm).

Elsewhere, Weymouth's postponed league game at Braintree Town has been rearranged for Tuesday, January 16 (7.45pm).
